Hello there,

I don't know about you, but January, feels hard. The days are shorter and my mood isn't at its best. With this in mind, I've spent time gently introducing routines and rituals, this includes a good bedtime routine that I stick to that helps me stay well in Winter. Ones that fit naturally into life.

The next two weeks, we'll be focusing on specific products, routines and rituals to help you through this time. To kick it off we've included in this email a downloadable PDF that you can print & write your morning, afternoon and evening ritual and tick off as you go.

I start every day by soaking up some natural light. Even if the sun isn't shining, I go outside wrapping up warm, with a mug of something cosy and take in the daylight. Topping up my melatonin levels helps set my circadian rhythm and ensures I sleep well that night.

Making sure I minimise my coffee intake is a biggie. I tend to only drink Inner Wisdom Balance nowadays and get my buzz from the natural energy giving properties of functional mushrooms. I find this a great way to start my day and avoids the inevitable mid-morning slump. 

We are what we eat. I make sure I have a nutritious and filling lunch made up of veggies, some protein and grains before having a smaller carb-free supper before 6pm. A good herbal sleepy tea is a must before bed.

I love a big hug after story time with my boys before having a hot bath using my Sweet Little Detox bath. Not only does this relax my muscles, it helps my body get rid of any toxins too leaving me feeling lighter and naturally sleepy.

Lastly, I rub the soles of my feet with a grape-sized amount of our Sweet Sleep Magnesium Butter to make sure I get the restorative rest I need.

Are you planning to, or have you made any small changes this January? Do share your top tips - I'd loved to know!
